Approximately how much will it be to send 500 chips, in USA? thank you

A priority medium flat rate box mailed within the US and with no additional insurance or services costs $12.65 if postage is purchased at the post office or $11.35 if the label is purchased online. Online is definitely the way to go! This price includes tracking, notifications, and $50 of insurance.

1) For 500 chips, the best choice is likely a USPS priority medium flat rate box, $12.65 at the post office and $11.30 if you print the label online at USPS.com.

2) In addition, at 500 chips, the weight is probably just under 15lbs (at 11 grams a chip, 500 chips would be ~12lbs before packing materials), so it may cost less to ship via a USPS priority mail regional A box (max weight limit 15lbs). The rate goes by distance, but usually cost less than a medium flat rate box. The regional A box is smaller but should fit 500 chips.

The first option is the most straightforward, since the price is flat across the US and the weight limit is high (70lbs). Most people don’t have postal scales at home to accurately weigh their packages for option 2).

You may want to look into Regional Rate boxes. I've been using them whenever applicable. I now pay $6 something instead of $15 and change. Please note, these boxes come in 5 (?) sizes and can not be found at the Post Office. You can order them free of charge at USPS.com.
